Turning Struggle Into Strength

In this episode of the Fit Like Krys Podcast, Krys welcomes back returning guest, friend, and powerhouse instructor Brittany for an inspiring conversation about resilience, discipline, and defying expectations.

Brittany shares her journey of living with myasthenia gravis 🧠—a rare autoimmune disease that causes severe muscle weakness—and how she’s built and maintained an elite level of fitness 🏋️‍♀️ despite doctors once advising her not to work out.

Listeners will hear:
 ✨ Her diagnosis story – from frightening day-to-day experiences to finally receiving answers at 19.
🩺 Life after surgery – the impact of having her thymus gland removed.
🔥 Building strength against the odds – why movement became her medicine.
🌅 Pushing through hard days – how she still shows up when she doesn’t feel like it.
💡 Why no one has to “look” like their struggle – and the importance of rewriting your personal truth.

Whether someone is managing an autoimmune disease, facing a challenging season, or simply struggling to stay motivated, Brittany’s story proves that with the right mindset and habits, it’s possible to take control of both health and outlook.
